Seasons at Fenn Farm: The Winter Bond

Seasons at Fenn Farm is a collection of four fictional short stories, each set in a different season. The main character is a middle-aged woman confronting the realities of aging. She crosses paths with animals, humans, and nature with unexpected joy, hardship, and sorrow, and she cares for her surroundings in times of hardship and joy. Hence, her assiduous respect for nature buffers, nurtures, and gives her a sense a peace through the high and low points of her life.

The Winter series of Seasons at Fenn Farm was originally a short story entitled The Christ-mas Bond, written as a Christmas gift to Elle’s family and friends. After much encouragement to write additional stories, Elle composed Spring, Summer, and Fall. Growing up in rural Western Pennsylvania, and living on a 120 year-old horse farm gave Elle many personal stories and inspirations to draw from.
